Can't agree on the wide open performance of Leica is better, I remember I
have seen pop photo test report on Leica 35/1.4, 50/1.4 and 75/1.4 all
perform poor than other SLR lenses at wide open and one stop down, the field
curvature is higher than normal. Ok, stopping down more they are the best
performers.
